Start Me Up
BOSSA AND STONES Lyrics

If you start me up
If you give me a push or inspiration, I will keep going and never give up.

If you start me up, I'll never stop
I'll keep going and never give up on whatever it is I am starting.

You can start me up
You have the power to inspire or push me to start something.

You can start me up, I'll never stop
Even if you push me to start something, I'll never give up on it.

I've been running hot
I've been feeling passionate and energized.

You got me ticking, gonna blow my top
You have me feeling so passionate and energized that I am about to reach my breaking point.

Never stop, never stop, I'll never stop
I will keep going and never give up, no matter what happens.

You make a grown man cry
You have such an impact on me that you can bring me to tears.

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
Prepare my machine for a ride by making sure it's lubricated and full of fuel.

I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
I look cool and confident when I ride my powerful and impressive machine.

Kick on the starter
Use your foot to start the engine.

Give it all you got, you got, you got
Put all of your energy and effort into starting the engine.

I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
I'm not as good as the other riders in the race.

If you rough it up
If you give me a rough ride or challenge me.

If you like it, I can slide it up
If you enjoy the rough ride, I can handle it and give you an even more exciting ride.

Don't make a grown man cry
Please don't have such an impact on me that you make me cry.

My eyes dilate, my lips go green
I get so excited that my pupils widen and my lips turn greenish.

My hands are greasy
My hands are oily and dirty from working on my machine.

She's a mean, mean machine
My machine is tough, powerful, and impressive.

Start me up
Encourage me to get started on something new.

Ah, give it all you got
Put all of your energy and effort into whatever you are doing.

You got to never, never, never stop
Keep going and never give up, no matter what.

Slide it up, woo
Move something up, possibly referring to extending the handlebars on a motorcycle.

Aw baby, just slide it up
Hey, baby, let me make a small adjustment to my motorcycle.

Ride like the wind at double speed
Ride as fast as possible.

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
I'll bring you to new and exciting places you've never been to before.

Love the day and we will never stop, never stop
Enjoy the moment and keep experiencing new things forever.

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You have a strong impact on me and can bring me to tears.

You, you made a dead man come
You have such an impact on me that I feel completely alive and energized.
